<p>There will be plenty of conversation about, and some criticism of, this new Bob Dylan album&mdash;his 36th&mdash;called <em>Shadows in the Night</em>. The haters shall hate. Bob Dylan is my top favorite artist with Sinatra coming in a close second, so you can imagine how excited I am about this project.</p>
<!--break-->
<p>I&#39;ve already fielded a bunch of complaints like &quot;he can&#39;t sing,&quot; &quot;he sounds old,&quot; and &quot;he&#39;s not a crooner.&quot; While I hear and appreciate those comments, you cannot deny giving Dylan some artistic license with this album. He has toiled in the songwriting fields for decades with great&mdash;some would say immeasurable&mdash;impact. The opportunity he has taken here to show us his influences must be liberating for him: it&#39;s Dylan as a fan, as well as an artist. It&#39;s clear that he is a true Sinatra fan since most of these songs come from deep in Frank&#39;s catalog.</p>
<p>The ten songs that make up <em>Shadows in the Night</em> come from the 1920s through the 1960s, and all were recorded by Frank Sinatra. In a recent interview, Dylan said that for any performer, &quot;Frank&rsquo;s got to be on your mind. Because he is the mountain. That&rsquo;s the mountain you have to climb, even if you only get part of the way there.&quot;</p>
<p>Dylan succeeds in bringing these songs to the present through relatively spare arrangements, since most of these songs were originally performed with a big band or orchestra. Dylan filters them through his tight, five-piece Americana band, with pedal steel, upright bass and guitar leading the way. Dylan&#39;s voice is right at the center.</p>
<p>At the age of 73, Dylan is working hard. The &quot;Never Ending Tour&quot; rolls on, and with this album he gives us a chance to follow him down a meaningful artistic path. I&#39;m with him!</p>
<p>We&#39;ll play songs from <em>Shadows in the Night</em> hourly today on FUV. Tonight on <em>The Whole Wide World</em> at 7, I&#39;ll dig up some of the Sinatra originals and put them alongside the new Dylan versions for some interesting sets.</p>
